Lustau Almacenista Palo Cortado 'Vides'

Availability: In stock

The rarest of all Sherry styles and very complex. Dark amber in colour, with tobacco and leather aromas in the nose, this wine is intense, reminiscent of roasting coffee beans, spices and dark chocolate. Dry and very concentrated, this wine has a long and elegant finish. An exceptional wine to enjoy with matured cheeses, smoked meats and game dishes. It is also ideal as a digestif.

Emilio Lustau, one of Spain's greatest Sherry bodegas, is named after Don Emilio Lustau Ortega, son-in-law of founder Don José Ruiz-Berdejo y Veyan. Don José, of French descent, founded the family firm in 1896 at his home in Nuestra Señora de la Esperanza, but in the 1940s Don Emilio moved the firm to the Santiago district of Jerez. The firm saw significant expansion, and joined the ranks of the top Sherry producers under Don Emilio's name. The family home was never abandoned, though, and in the 1970s extensive cellars were constructed there. Emilio Lustau is now a leader in Sherry production, certainly when judged on quality.
